Jazz Chisholm Jr. arrived at Fenway Park roughly an hour before first pitch Sunday night, on the precipice of adding a new position on his new team.
BOSTON — , 24 hours after being traded from the Marlins, but the Yankees plan to introduce him to third base, where he could begin filling a big hole as soon as Monday’s series opener against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
“But excited to have him. We are a better team today, a better roster today with him here. Excited, and I know he’s really excited to be here too.” Jazz Chisholm in Yankees lineup vs. Red Sox as J.D. Davis gets DFA’dBoone said the Yankees will also have Gleyber Torres get pregame work at third base, where has not played since 2018 as a minor leaguer.
It is also possible that the Yankees have more moves coming before Tuesday’s 6 p.m. trade deadline that would allow for a simpler lane for Chisholm’s playing time. Having Chisholm in the middle of the order, instead of at the top and being on base when Soto and Judge are up, could allow Boone to be more aggressive in giving him the green light to steal bases.
